Yk what’s funny, is I remember a few years ago when BoMel moved people around the lineup a lot, and people complained that “ballplayers need consistency”, and now the order roughly stays the same and now it’s an issue.
I don’t really think there’s necessarily a right or wrong way to approach the lineup, just because every team has different players that react differently to different things, but I do think that this says a lot about Schildt’s ability to take criticism or accept that he’s wrong. Arraez still isn’t a bad hitter, he just doesn’t belong at 2, and that’s okay.
I’m so tired of this stubborn motherfucker
I gotta be real. I know a lot about baseball but probably like 2% of what Mike knows. You just hope it pays off. I do hope OHearn is in the longterm plans somehow.
Interim manager Brian Esposito is sounding pretty good
Let’s let him know that we don’t like Arraez at second when they play at the Cathedral (Petco 🐶)
What’s arraez stats for August does anyone know?
Maybe Tatis can hit his 2nd home run in 130 at bats
Even taking Shildtys obsession with R-L batting my wish lineup would be
1. Bebo
2. Ohearn/Jackson after return
3. Manny
4. Jackson/Ohearn
5. Bogey
6. Arraez
7. Ramon
8. Crone
9. Freddy
At this point, I don’t see any reason to keep beating the drum to get Arraez moved down in the line-up. Shildt is going to stick with the same 3 guys at the top and move 4-7 around on a nightly basis or depending on who’s available. Just have to hope our guys step up when it counts.
Another game with our best hitter in the 7 spot. Hell of a lineup, Mike.
Just switch Ohearn and Arraez and se how it feels Mike

Oh Lord be with us…
definition of insanity
Shildt being an idiot continues…
Simple reality is that while the Padres are still (generally) scoring runs and winning games, Arraez will be batting 2nd
Nice to know he’s gonna bench sheets when Merrill comes back…. This stubbornness will cost us in playoffs
At least O’Hearn is at 1B
Praying to the baseball gods ⚾️
